ActionScript 3.0 :: E4x Xml NodeName - Migrate A Controller Class
Jan 10, 2007
I am currently migrating to as3 with e4x xml. I am trying to migrate a controller class I have in as2 that iterates through an xml tree and builds a controller object that controls apperance and content of a flash application. In my as2 class i would use the "nodeName" to retrieve an elements name therefore the script was completely dynamic to any xml file and would build the contents of the controller object relative to nodeNames. I am trying to decifer a way of doing this with e4x but am struggling to find the syntax. I have tried using a for each iteration using the new "elements () " function but e4x doesn't seem to recognise the nodeName function.

I am using MC tween and also AS2 scripting and I would like to migrate to using AS3 as well as migrate some of my old Flash sites to AS3. What is the best way?Can AS2 and AS3 be in the same Flash movie?I mean, if you were to build a website in AS2 and you have to add new features. Can you add new features and write the code in AS3?How are people making the change to AS3? Are the differences major. Is there a good website or information somewhere that outlines the differences between AS3 and AS2 and explains it in Laymans terms : )

I've tried many different ways of accessing the name of an attribute, but just can't get it working.The current Function:
protected function applyProperties(_axml:XML):void
{
var list:XMLList = _axml.properties;[code]...........
I have tried the name, I've tried searching it as an Object, I looked for solutions on stackoverflow.. nothing has worked for me so far. Originally I had the properties node as such: fearing that Flash was interpretting incorrectly.
edit: It seems like the XML was interpretted rather than printed out..

I have a rather large XML file (though it's pretty simple in it's structure). My flash program is using most, but not all of the data in this file, and I am currently setting a variety of flash variables by looking at specific node numbers (i.e. firstChild.childNodes[4].attributes...). This all works fine.
However, this XML does have the big potential of changing or being added to, and what I want to do it read through the XML, look at the nodeNames and return the nodes position. This way, I can set some basic variables to equal the node positions and not have to hardcode everything.
I currently have a simple loop that is grabbing the nodenames and storing them in an array. What I can't figure out how to do is use this to get node position, and then set a basic "name = nodepositionX". Then I can use "firstChild.childNodes[name].attributes..." I don't think this is terribly complicated, but I'm a designer learning all this programming stuff on the fly here.
This loop works great:
Code:
_root.xmlNodeNames = new Array();
for (var x=0; x<expertXML.firstChild.childNodes.length; x++) {
_root.xmlNodeNames[x] = expertXML.firstChild.childNodes[x].nodeName;
[Code]....

I have a movie clip in my library linked as aboutUsMenuBtn. And I as get the childNodes.nodeName from the XML file, I want them to be assigned to a dynamic text field "btn_txt" inside of the aboutUsMenuBtn. With each node, a button is going to be attached to the aboutUs stage (I'm working using a Flash Form Application).

I have a typical Flex-based application that was written to use a Java/Hibernate/MySQL backend. The client changed the requirements - now they want to distribute it on a CD where the user can just run the app without any installation or a network connection.
To do this, I certainly need to eliminate the web server and the database server and adapt my application (with as few changes as possible, of course) to a stand-alone application that will fit on a CD/DVD. I've managed to export the data to XML and read it into Flex, but I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate the Hibernate data structures in Flex so I could change as little code as possible. Failing that, is there any way to keep the existing Java/Hibernate external to the Flex code but retrievable without installing Apache Tomcat or MySQL?

I would like to migrate my OOP-as3 flash-project to flash builder (or maybe textmate (Mac)??). Is there ANY detailed tutorial available that can explain me how to setup flash builder 4.6 (or older) so I can easily import all my classes and frameworks to this app? Currently I'm stuck because - to be honest - I don't get it. There are thousands of preferences and buttons and I have no idea what they mean. How do you setup / import an additional game-framework (so all my classes can access them)?

i'm trying to use org.simplemvc for my first mvc project. i'm getting it piece by piece, but I can't figure out how to get the controller from a class of mine that extends view.I thought it would be as simple as just calling a method from it's super, view, the controller getter. but it tells me the property doesn't exist, so I'm thinking it has something to do with the interface.[code]

I'm using CS4 and encountered an issue that I can't resolve when using the controller. When an audio file (MP3) is on the timeline, I hit play on the controller to listen to audio but when I hit stop, the play head stops while the audio continues to play. I also noticed that when scrubbing the timeline you can't hear the audio.
Has anyone encountered this? This issue doesn't happen in CS3 and since a lot of my work deals with syncing graphics to narration I have to go back to CS3, which I don't want to do.

The first is that when loading an external swf in my main SWF I get this in the output window:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::list_1/frame1()
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at audio_fla::MainTimeline()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
But it still works. Its an mp3 player. The other problem is that the loaded SWF has a volume controller. When I test the external SWF by itself it works fine. When I load it on my main SWF when I start to drag the handle on my volume slider and MOUSE_UP outside the handle it still keep dragging the handle.
The code of my main SWF is:
import caurina.transitions.*;
var _currentCategory:String = "";
var percent:String = "";
var loader = new Loader();
loader.name="videoLoader";

I am working on a flex application which makes calls to an .NET webservice. I am trying to follow the MVC design pattern. I have created a model, which stores all information received from the webservice. The webservice itself is created by actionscript in the controller. The view in my case, consists of various user-defined components (multiple .mxml files).
The Model is a singleton class, and each of the views accesses a getInstance of the model. The question is how do i access the webservice (i.e. controller) from each of these components? Does the controller also need to be a singleton class just like the model? and let each component get an instance of the controller in order to access the webservice?

Can flash video controller control external swf files? It seems it can only control flvs?nyways, I am working on a flash animation with voice over and I need to have a video ontroller so it can rewind, fast forward, pause the swf and turn off the sound....etc....oes anyone know any video controller in AS3 that can control swfs out there that I can download or purchase?I know I could convert the swf to quicktime then flv, but the quality would be degraded because of the conversion from vector graphics to bitmap. I certainly wouldn't want to have that.

I have an external sound controller that plays 10 tracks. The current way I load the sound controller is with LoadMovie and I do it on the last frame of the movie that is my actual website. However, this slows my whole site down significantly, because when I press stop on the sound controller...everything is at the speed I want it to go. What is the best way to go about preventing this slow down?

I'm having trouble with a controller I'm using with an FLV. I am a newbie when it comes to actionscripting. I have a project I'm working on that contains a 86:50 minute FLV and towards the end I will have a separate button appear to click on. The code I am implementing was from a different project that utilized the same functions but with a 4:49 minute FLV. I have an example of this at [URL]. As you can see the controller is set up for the 4:49 minute FLV and when the timer gets to 5:00 minutes that button comes in. I need to make the FLV play the whole way through and then at a specific point have the button appear and I can't seem to do it. Below is the only code I can see that pertains to this section.
scrub.onPress = function(){
scrub.startDrag(false, -365, scrub._y, 49, scrub._y);
dragging = "true";
}scrub.onRelease = function(){
var newNum:Number = (scrub._x - -365) * .7625;
mainVid.seek(newNum);
scrub.stopDrag();
dragging = "false";

I have a row of movie clips which act as buttons with an inactive state, active state, selected state etc. What I am seeking is kind of like a controller button which when clicked will activate or de-activate this row when clicked. I thought the best way might be to set frame labels and add a goto sript for the controller button to make each button go to the activate frame when the controller button is clicked.

When I render an .flv by adding the video to the Render Queue in After Effect instead of exporting to .flv the video controller ends up wider than the video itself when imported to Flash.
My video is 495 wide by 360 high. When I render in AE in the Render Queue, and then import to a Flash doc, the video controller is about 15 pixels wider on both the left and right of the video. This looks goofy. Is their a way to resolve this? Is this a Flash challenge or an After Effects challenge?

I'm working on creating a simple MCV application, in order to understand MVC better. The problem I'm having is registering event listeners. The way I see MVC is that the view dispatches events, the controller listens for these events and acts on them, either updating the model or amending the view. So in my MVC app I have a controller which during initialisation should register all the events that are dispatched by the view. This is my controller:
[Code]...
Now is this the way to do this, and why is it that my controller is not registering the event handlers?
